So it was my delightful wife who said to me when she saw me counting countless Pozcars ballots … “What exactly are you getting out of this Pozcars thing?”
What a silly question. I am getting so much out of the Pozcars, you know, like, um, well, you know, lots of stuff. I told her [...]
So it was my delightful wife who said to me when she saw me counting countless Pozcars ballots ... “What exactly are you getting out of this Pozcars thing?”
What a silly question. I am getting so much out of the Pozcars, you know, like, um, well, you know, lots of stuff. I told her that the wife of that guy who invented Google probably asked the same question. And look at him now. A billionaire. A bajillionaire. Google is like taking ... Read More

Well, I can tell you sending out hundreds of Pozcars ballots was fun. No, really, lots of fun. That was a good idea I came up with. Maybe next I can do a blog post where I try to see if it really hurts to bang my head against a the hood of an Altima or, perhaps, a Jetta.
